During the Zhengde period, Liu Jin was autocratic, and the name of the Eight Tigers was powerful in the world, and in the Jiajing period, the power of the eunuchs was deliberately restricted, and the eunuchs in the later period of Jiajing were no longer replenished at all, and the eunuchs in the palace were allowed to grow old. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the early years of Longqing, the labor in the palace was a little sluggish, so it has been slowly replenished during the Longqing years, but the ministers are still vigilant, and Longqing has been in power for a few years, and the cabinet ministers are almost all courtiers during the Jiajing period, and the Longqing Emperor did not argue with them on such a trivial matter, it is enough.

In recent years, due to the decay of the eunuchs in the palace, there has been a serious shortage of manpower in all aspects, and Feng Bao, the first person in the inner court, has also become a pivotal role in the world.

In order to maintain the normal operation of the palace, there are also reasons for the gradual resurgence of the power of eunuchs, and a large number of eunuchs began to be replenished outside the palace.

And this supplement in the ninth year of Wanli is the largest in the past 30 years, the palace does not replenish eunuchs, but can risk seeking wealth and wealth, or people who have no way out to emasculate themselves as nameless white The number has not decreased, and the number of nameless white is constantly increasing.

Among the low-level eunuchs who were added to the palace this time, except for the Tong eunuch selected for the inner study hall, the rest were selected from the nameless white, and young and strong people were selected, so that they could do errands when they entered the palace.

In the Ming generation, the Imperial Palace's eyes and ears were sensitive, and the internal and external news were smooth, and the news of the thieves in the nameless white settlement of the various yamen in Beijing was naturally known.

Now that I have food and clothing in the palace, when I was a nameless person outside the palace, my hands and feet were not clean but it was inevitable, and when I heard the big rope outside the palace, everyone was inevitably panicked.

After breakfast, Shen Decai also came to the imperial dining room, and after a few brief explanations, Gui Lei hurriedly went to the celebrant supervisor.

Although the celebrant is in charge of the inner court, except for the eunuchs who are the celebrant superintendent, each superintendent has its own place and is busy.

Gui Lei arrived here, but now the people from various yamen were actually there, and it was really like what his cronies said, kowtowing everywhere to petition and cry.

"It's not a way to do this, the little ones are panicking, we are serving the nobles and masters in the palace, what if there is a mistake!?"

"How did Shuntianfu get so bold to such an extent, who supported them ......."

"The following directors went to give porridge and relief, but they were actually stopped by the servants of Shuntian Mansion, are there any ......people in the palace in their eyes?"

Some of them are eunuchs with palm prints, and some are young eunuchs or stewards, everyone has a role of status, although there are complaints here, but the words are three points and three points.

The eunuchs on duty were all with the Wanli Emperor to the court meeting, leaving a guard on duty to deal with urgent matters as usual, but today the messenger was the eunuch Zhang Hong, who was on duty in the room, and there were more than 20 people standing in the room, shouting there, and if they wanted to do an errand, they couldn't calm down at all, and couldn't help frowning and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Father-in-law Feng and Father-in-law Zhang are still over there in the court, we can't come up with any ideas here, it's better to go back to the yamen separately, and wait for noon to discuss how to do it, everyone is the person in charge of the yamen, come here, don't delay the errand of the yamen over there."

There is one person in charge of the celebrant seal, one admiral, and one pen, and four or five people in the court, all of whom have the status of eunuchs, which are equivalent to the cabinet of the outer courts, and their power is incomparable, and their status is much higher than that of other yamen in the inner court.

Zhang Hong has always been known for being square, and the Empress Dowager Li praised him, vaguely this Zhang Hong is a third person in the celebrant supervisor, since he talks like this, the people who come to report are not good to talk about, they looked at each other, and they were ready to disperse.

"Gonggong Zhang can't say that, take my Imperial Horse Supervisor as an example, the sturdy eunuchs selected this time are all added to the battalions and divisions, these people are the armed soldiers and horses in the palace, if people are so panicked, wouldn't it be a disaster, and the original people of the Imperial Horse Prison are old and weak, and they can't be relied on, if they are allowed to go down like this, won't the forbidden army system be corrupted!"

Everyone was about to disperse, but Lin Shulu, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, stood up, and although his tone was calm, what he said was quite firm.

Of the people present, only Lin Shulu of the Imperial Horse Supervisor had the qualifications to say this at this time, and as soon as he said this, everyone immediately agreed.

"Shang Shan Jian is in charge of the food here, the work is the heaviest, and the most mistakes, the last time the palace was picked, there are thirty percent of the supplements here, but in this way, they don't have the heart to do the work, in case something goes wrong, how to explain to the above, Grandpa Zhang, this is the first major event that cannot be delayed!!"

Gui Lei, the eunuch of Guanglu, the commander of Shangshan, shouted the loudest, and he was also the most nervous about this matter, and when he got up in the morning, because these people were crying and begging, he hurried and hurried, and there were three concubines in the palace who were still delayed for a while, which caused a lot of complaints over there.

Thanks to the priority supply from Concubine Zheng's side, otherwise there will really be a big disaster, Gui Lei and Shen Decai, who is in charge of the palm seal of Shangshan Supervisor, feel that there must be an explanation for this matter, otherwise there will be trouble, it is estimated that Shangshan Supervisor is responsible, and this kind of thing must be clarified.

The voices in several other places are not small, and the direct palace supervisor and the royal supervisor are also in a similar situation.

Zhang Hong was also helpless when he saw this situation, patted his forehead, simply clenched his fists, and said:

"In that case, you fathers-in-law will do it first, and our family still has some documents to read, so I won't accompany you."

He was also a little angry in his heart, and after speaking, he went out to the duty room in the main courtyard, sat in his seat and read a few books, but he was a little puzzled, and turned his head to ask the eunuch who wrote to his cronies and said:

"Shuntianfu is so bent on investigating the case, these people outside are very busy outside the palace, why can't they suppress it, and they still want to gather here?"

The writing eunuch hesitated, but Zhang Hong reacted first, opened the fold and circled a few strokes, and said in a low voice:

"It must be the security department under Gonggong Zhang, no wonder you have to gather here to toss, you can't control it, you can't control it!"

Everywhere in the palace, the yamen of the Department of Public Security is quite cold, one is not right, and the other is firmly grasped by Zhang Cheng, others can't reach in, behind this is the Son of Heaven, now the queen mother is the largest inside and outside the palace, everyone still keeps some distance.

Everyone gathered here, it was almost noon, and the court meeting was almost going on, and it didn't take long for Zhang Hong to go out to speak, and several of the celebrants had already returned.

In front of Zhang Hong, everyone could say a few words, but in front of Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng, everyone didn't dare to be so presumptuous, and they all bowed down in unison.

However, at this time, everyone hesitated, and everyone could see that the faces of the celebrants were very bad, could it be that the matter of gathering people to cry below angered Gonggong Feng and Gonggong Zhang.

Everyone hesitated, but the supervising eunuch Lin Shulu walked forward slowly, took a deep look, and said in a solemn voice:

"Gonggong Feng, there is no peace in the palace, if it doesn't calm down this morning, disaster will come to us and others."

Feng Bao entered the courtyard and saw that everyone was obviously stunned, everyone hesitated and did not come forward, but he was thinking about something else, and seemed to be distracted, and was only reacted by Lin Shulu's words, hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, but turned his head directly and said:

"Zhang Cheng, go and say hello to the people over there, such a restless toss of chickens and dogs, inside and out, is all face-damaging, so stop in moderation!"

said such a thing in front of everyone, and if it was damaged in person, everyone present was stunned, regardless of the rudeness, they all looked at Zhang Cheng, but they didn't expect Zhang Cheng to be thoughtful, just nodded and agreed to "yes", everyone was stunned, but saw that the people who participated in the court meeting of the celebrant were all in the duty room.

Everyone is the top character in the palace, and they naturally understand this situation, and the great eunuchs entered the house, and from time to time a writing eunuch came out and said:

"The affairs are busy, please go back to your duties and summon you again if you have something."

The writing eunuch said respectfully, but everyone understands the meaning of the expulsion, today is coming with great momentum, and the things asked for seem to have a result, and Zhang Cheng also responded, but the things that the superintendents and yamen are concerned about now are not on this, what will be the thing that makes Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng worried, and what happened at the court meeting?

The eunuchs and young eunuchs informed each other, and they dispersed tacitly, and as soon as they left the courtyard of the celebrant eunuch, although they were returning to their respective yamen, their cronies began to inquire everywhere.

As is customary, nothing happens at the court meeting, and before lunch, the news is known everywhere.

"The arrangement to arrange for Li Wenquan to go to the three major battalions as a deputy general was rejected by Elder Zhang Ge."

The so-called Beijing camp was 12 regimental battalions before Jiajing, and it was changed to three battalions in Jiajing, led by the general of Wenchen, the eunuchs supervised the army, and the military generals at all levels were filled by the nobles, and the three battalions had a total of four deputy generals, all of whom were earls and marquises, and there were vacancies in salaries and silver, and the oil and water of the difference in armament prices, which was the first-class place for the nobles.

Moreover, for the nobles, if there is anything to promote them, there must always be a formal merit, go to the three major battalions to do a section, and then there will be a reason to make a statement.

This Li Wenquan has never held any real position before, and now he does not have any knighthood, Zhang Gelao's move is also reasonable, and it is not uncommon for civil officials to often do such things.

But Li Wenquan is the son of Li Wei, Marquis of Wuqing, and the younger brother of the current Empress Dowager Cisheng, this is one of the top imperial relatives in the world...... What will happen next, God knows.

"It's a time of restlessness on the grassland, and the three major battalions need to be filled by powerful military ministers, and the mourning family knows Mr. Zhang's intentions, so there is no need to say anything!"

Empress Dowager Li spoke like this, but her face sank like water, Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng glanced at each other, and they both bowed, but Empress Dowager Li changed the topic and said:

"The commotion in the palace today doesn't look like it, Zhang Cheng, you are an errand person in the palace, you have to distinguish the inside and the outside, and if you continue to track it down like this, what do you mean!"

Empress Dowager Li's expression was terrified, and Zhang Cheng hurriedly knelt down......
